Chapter 55
The National Teacher's Mansion has no more frolicking in the past, everything seems lonely and silent, and most of the people have been dismissed by Twilight Cloud, and everyone else is conscientious, doing their part, and trying not to cause trouble to the master.
Twilight Liuyun followed the path, and unconsciously walked to the courtyard where he and Xin Yao lived, the stone table in the courtyard was clean and spotless, it seemed that Jinzhu had been asked to come here to clean, never stopping.
He sat down, thinking back to the way Xin Yao ate at the stone table every dusk, smiling and smiling, his heart was like a big stone blocked, and he couldn't extricate himself from it. From morning to now, his heart has been inexplicably flustered, and he is a little faintly uneasy. It stands to reason that since he went to the Four Princes' Mansion last time and killed the Four Princes' favorite concubines, no one in the mansion should dare to bully her anymore, including that Shangguan Yuyan, I'm afraid she will have to stop for a while. But where did this inexplicable panic come from? Is it because of this courtyard, because this National Teacher's Mansion is where she has lived, and there are her shadows everywhere?
Twilight stood up, pushed open the door and walked into the house, looking at Xin Yao's small bed, how many nights, he just stood by the bed, looking at her who couldn't sleep, and fell asleep for her.
He opened the cabinet next to the bed, inside was Xin Yao's clothes, neatly folded, and there was a layer below, which originally held a pair of small colorful people pinched by the clay figure master when he and Xin Yao went shopping for the first time, but now they are gone, it seems that she took them when she left, maybe she kept them to make a thought. Twilight Liuyun smiled self-deprecatingly, she had followed the four princes, what else did she want to do!
Closing the drawer, Twilight quickly left the sad place and returned to the peach orchard.
The food was already on the table in the courtyard, and Mo Wen and Xiaoxue were already sitting next to them, waiting for Twilight Liuyun to stand up together when they saw him come in.
"Liuyun, why did you come back?" Mo Wen looked at the expression on Twilight's face, knowing that he missed her again.
"Don't ask, sit down, I want to discuss something with you." Twilight came back to her senses, calmed her mind for a moment, and said with a smile.
"Talk to me about something? It's good that you don't have to decide everything, and you don't have to consult with me. Mo asked.
"I want to resign as a national teacher, don't ask, let's get out of here."
"Huh?" Mo Wen and Xiaoxue were shocked when they heard this.
"Liuyun, do you want to go?" Mo Wen was a little unconvinced, he wanted to leave, did he not want to see Xin Yao anymore? It's okay, now Xin Yao is in the Four Princes' Mansion, and when the Four Princes come back, the two will get married, maybe before the Four Princes leave, they are already together, why are Liuyun still staying here, let's go!
"yes, I was going to wait for the Fourth Prince to come back, but I couldn't stay any longer......" Twilight said heartbrokenly.
"Okay, let's go, I'm in favor!" Don't ask and say yes.
Xiaoxue hurriedly said on the side: "Why are you leaving, you are leaving, what should I do?" ”
Mo Wen pointed to her head, "Silly girl, of course you're going with us." ”
"No, I'm not leaving, I'm going to wait for my sister to come back." Xiaoxue was about to cry.
"It's really stupid to say you're stupid, if your sister wants to come back, she won't come back sooner, the Four Princes' Mansion is so close, and I haven't seen her come back to see you." Mo Wen shook his head and said.
"It's not that she won't come, it's that she's not there, anyway, I'm not leaving, I'm going to go, my sister promised me that when she comes back from the Jin Kingdom, she will come to me, in case I leave, she can't find me when she comes back, what should I do!"
Twilight Liuyun was stunned for a long time, only to feel that a stream of blood rushed to the top of her head, blinded, she went to the Jin Kingdom, how could she go to the Jin Kingdom! Did I hear it wrong?
Mo asked, "What? What did you say? ”
Xiaoxue was taken aback by the two of them, "I, I didn't say anything?" ”
Twilight stepped forward and grabbed Xiaoxue with red eyes, "Are you telling me clearly, where did she go?" ”
Xiaoxue was frightened by Twilight's expression and didn't know how to answer for a while.
Mo Wen hurriedly pulled Twilight Liuyun, "Liuyun, don't worry, you are holding her like this, what else does she say." ”
Twilight let go of Xiaoxue and yelled, "Say it quickly! What she said, you have to explain it to me word for word! ”
Mo asked to comfort Xiaoxue: "Don't be afraid, you speak slowly." ”
Xiaoxue breathed a sigh of relief and said, "My sister came to Taoyuan the day before she left, and when you were drunk, she waited outside the door until I went out, and she asked about your situation and asked me to take good care of you......"
Mo asked anxiously: "Xiaoxue, let's talk about the point." ”
"Oh, and then my sister said that she was going to go to the Jin Kingdom with the fourth prince, and I said that I would follow my sister, but she said no, let me follow Brother Liu here, and wait for her to come back, if she can't come back for a while, let me follow Brother Liu all the time, don't leave, and say that Brother Liu will take good care of me......"
Twilight's face turned pale as she slammed her fist on the table, only to hear a "boom", the table shattered, and the food was scattered all over the floor. Mo Wen hurriedly said: "Liuyun, don't be nervous, maybe it's not what you think." He turned his head and reprimanded Xiaoxue again: "Such an important matter, why didn't you say it earlier!" ”
Xiaoxue hurriedly defended: "How dare I say it, you annoy her like this every day, I don't even dare to mention the word sister, how dare I say it......"
Twilight yelled, "What did you say? Shall I kill you again! She went to the Jin Kingdom, obviously to take revenge, why didn't I think that I was blinded by lard, thinking that she was ...... Now that the four princes have arrived in Tanzhou, they may have entered the palace! Twilight chops off her foot and turns to run out.
Mo Wen hurriedly chased out, "Liuyun, wait for me ......"
Xiao Xue was stupid in place, and heard Mo Wen's voice from afar: "Xiao Xue, guard Yinlan, wait for me to come back......"
Mo Wen finally caught up with Twilight Liuyun and persuaded: "Liuyun, Tanzhou is thousands of miles away, and it will take a day and a night for us to fly, don't mess up." ”
Twilight sighed with remorse, "There's still too much hope." ”

Feng Sijiao came out of the Du Mansion, went back and changed into the clothes she wore when she went to the palace, which was very gorgeous, and ordered her personal maid Cuiping to redress herself, she was satisfied, and then sat at the table, took a piece of paper, tore off half of it, and wrote: I ask the emperor to see it, there is something important, Princess Chu is here.
instructed Cui Ping: "You follow me into the palace." ”
Cui Ping said: "It's so late, what are you doing in the palace?" The palace gate has been locked, and I am afraid that I will not be able to enter. ”
Feng Sijiao said: "There is a palace banquet today, the palace gate will not be closed, let's leave quickly, I must see the emperor tonight." ”
Cui Ping knelt down in fright: "Miss, are you going to see the emperor?" ”
Feng Sijiao smiled and helped her up: "Look at you, it's me who scares you, you wait for me outside the palace gate." ”
Cui Ping asked again, "Do the lord and lady know?" ”
"Why don't you go with me?" Feng Sijiao was a little annoyed.
Cui Ping didn't dare to ask, and hurriedly followed.
When the carriage arrived at the gate of the palace, Feng Sijiao and Cui Ping got down and walked to him. Seeing that she was dressed as an official lady, the Ouchi guard stepped forward to stop the two of them: "What are you doing?" ”
Feng Sijiao stepped forward and said, "Official, I have something important to do and want to enter the palace to see the emperor." ”
The guard said: "The emperor can see him if you want to, hurry up, otherwise he will be punished for trespassing in the palace!" ”
"Big brother, don't worry." Feng Sijiao stuffed the prepared silver taels to the guards, "It's a little meaning, I just ask the eldest brother to bring a word in, as for whether the emperor can see it or not, he will know." ”
The guard touched his purse, it seemed to be a lot, and said kindly: "What do you want to bring?" ”
Feng Sijiao lowered her voice: "I caught Princess Chaoyang." ”
When the guards heard this, Princess Chaoyang, there has been no news after being arrested for so long, how can you be a woman with this ability, I couldn't believe it, and looked at Feng Sijiao suspiciously. Feng Sijiao smiled: "How dare I deceive the king." ”
The guards thought about it, too, bullying the king is a capital crime, it seems to be true, and he didn't dare to neglect this matter, so he hurriedly reported to the head of the internal guard on duty.
Emperor Jin sat on the Jinluan chair and drank the wine in the cup, this is a tribute from the Zhou Kingdom, it is really good, the wine is sweet, and those beauties are really good, compared to this southern woman, a little more heroic, more eyebrow bones, and a different flavor. He remembered that the one named Liu Yan attracted him with a heroic spirit, which made him discredited, and now this kind of beauty is in front of him, enjoy it at any time, Liu Yan, hum! It's long overdue!
The singing and dancing under the stage is leveled, the bell rings the chime, the music is melodious, and the lit sandalwood makes the whole hall smoky, and the fragrance is permeated. The banquet should have come to an end, the four princes were a little absent-minded, but the scene still had to be dealt with, he frequently looked at Emperor Jin on the stage, and from time to time raised a glass to toast him, Emperor Jin smiled and returned the salute.
At this time, Sima Ping, the palace of Emperor Jin, walked up to him, leaned down and whispered something in Emperor Jin's ear, and handed him a note. Emperor Jin opened it and took a look, got up and went out.
He asked Ma Ping to take Feng Sijiao to the side hall, Feng Sijiao saw Emperor Jin and knelt down busily: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" ”
"Get up." Emperor Jin sat down and said: "You said that Princess Chaoyang is in your hands, but it's true, don't coax me, otherwise, I will deal with your father together!" ”
Feng Sijiao was so frightened that she was in a cold sweat, and she didn't dare to get up, she still knelt and trembled and said, "Yes, it's in Du Mansion." ”
"Really? Why didn't you see Du Shangshu talk about it? Emperor Jin was very angry when he heard this, this Du Yan actually concealed what his intentions were.
Feng Sijiao hurriedly explained: "Du Shangshu didn't know about this, Du Wenbo had just been arrested before the banquet, and he was locked up in the torture room of the Du Mansion to discipline the people, because there was a banquet today, I was afraid that I would ruin the fun, and I wanted to wait for the banquet to end before reporting it." ”
"Yes, then why did you take the risk to come to see me, and wait for the banquet to be over, and he would come to report it?" Emperor Jin looked at the woman in front of him and didn't quite believe her words.
Feng Sijiao didn't expect Emperor Jin to ask such a question, and she didn't know how to answer for a while, so anxious that cold sweat was dripping on her forehead, and she held back a sentence for a long time: "Because, because the courtiers used the punishment in private, they were afraid that the emperor would punish them, so they came to accept the guilt." ”
"Oh, well, well, you wait here, the feast is over, and I'll take care of this again." Emperor Jin got up and said to Ma Ping again: "You stay and accompany Miss Feng." ”
"Yes," Ma Ping replied.
Feng Sijiao got up and sat down, looking at Ma Ping standing next to him, and felt scared in his heart.
